During a signing event, former President Trump mocked Elon Musk in light of their recent public disputes regarding electric vehicle mandates. After Trump criticized Musk's opposition to his legislative initiatives, Musk retaliated with insults. The tensions are partly fueled by Musk's discontent over Trump's environmental policies, notably the repeal of the federal EV mandates, which Trump claims Musk previously approved. Despite their disagreements, both men express an openness to reconcile, acknowledging their past alliance and mutual interests in business.
"On my first day in office, I ended the Green New Scam and abolished the EV mandate at the federal level. We abolished it, which is basically that everybody will be driving an electric car within a very short period of time."
"I used to say I'm amazed that he's endorsing me because that can't be good for him. I'm abolishing the EV mandate," Trump noted regarding Musk's allegiance.
